The new soft roller cleaner head works well for hardwood floors, but on corners, I find myself having to go back with the crevice tool to finish the job. I use the direct drive cleaner head for low pile carpets, but the mini motorized tool works better for shag rugs (and car floor mats/upholstery)."
"Got mine yesterday, charged it, vacuumed my downstairs with it this morning. By the time I was finished, the skin on the knuckle at the base of my thumb was worn off from being rubbed on the handle above the switch where there is a little plastic "seam"."
"I was familiar with the V6 so I kept waiting for the battery to exhaust it's charge but it kept going. We have a long haired German Shepard and had to empty the V8 three times."
"I find it hard to believe that a company that spends a great deal of time marketing the design excellence of its product would fail so wholly at something so basic as phone customer service and parts replacement. In November I began the process of trying to replace the part thinking a simple call would take care of things, but was stymied on a few occasions by hold times above 30 minutes, and it wasn’t until December 17 when I finally had the time to 'wait it out' and speak to a representative. After he apparently pulled a demo unit out to see what I was talking about (I offered to email photos) and tried to convince me that the crimp obstructing nearly 50% of the hose diameter was part of the design, he created an order for a part and informed me that in 5-8 business days my problem would be solved. After more than 50 minutes, I reached a representative who then had to place me on a further hold to tell me that parts were not available for the vacuum since it was so new, and that in order to replace the part, I would have to replace the entire vacuum. I was told without any humor that replacing the part cannot be completed without my FIRST going to a UPS store with the vacuum and its attachments, receiving a tracking number, and then CALLING customer service back. Even glacially slow-to-adopt USPS allows callers to opt out of physical hold times and receive a phone call back in the order they were received."

The vacuum has many strengths: * it's incredibly powerful. * it's very light. * it's easy to use. * it's easy to clean. * it's easy to change out the suction heads. * it's easy to convert from vacuuming carpet to vacuuming walls or car seats. * it transitions easily from carpet to hardwood floors -- no switches or dials or anything when changing vacuum surfaces. The one drawback to the unit is that its battery lasts a little under 20 minutes on average, in my usage."
"Positives: great suction (really picks up the dirt and dog hair), light and easy to handle, gets under furniture with ease so there is little need to move furniture, roller bar works great (gets the hair and dirt out of area rugs and carpets), great for stairs. Yes, the powered roller bar does collect dog hair and thread (I have two golden retrievers and my wife is a quilter) and it has to be cut out."
"The vacuum head is a little narrow so you have to make more passes but the flip side is that it more easily reaches narrow spaces."
"This is my first cordless and wish I had gone with this type of vacuum a long time ago, easy to grab and use and put up."
"$249 to replace a vacuum head (on a $299 COMPLETE unit). The tech rep was quite proficient in explaining that it is for DUST only, any moisture will void warranty. Seems if they have the technology to detect moisture in the head, they should be able to seal the bearings to protect the unit. That must be on the $699 unit... Dyson did contact me today through this forum (even though I am registered with two units on my Dyson account), but since I have disposed of the unit, I suspect that since they wouldn't inspect/repair the broken one, they would do even less for a land filled one. By the way, there are no moisture warnings anywhere on the unit, or warning stickers of any kind."
"However when I unpacked the vacuum, the AC charging cord was missing, the mini motor head tool for vacuuming upholstery was missing, and also missing was the skinny angled piece for vacuuming cracks and crevices."

"I've owned many stick vacs, and I was pretty loyal to swifter vac....cheap and reliable. Thirdly, I can do my kitchen rugs and entry rugs with out sucking them up like my Dyson vac. It gets the job done, has been reliable for a year at least, and out of the five stick vacs I've purchased over five years....this one is #1."
"We moved into a 3-level home several months ago, and I wanted another vacuum so I didn't have to carry my Shark Navigator (which I LOVE) up and down the stairs. I have about 3,000 square feet total, and was able to do my whole main floor, stairs, and about half the master bedroom before the charge ran out. It's awesome on wood floors, plus when I move to a rug, I can hear the roller kick into a higher gear."
"There are exactly two things I like about this vacuum - the portable size/weight and the fact that it's battery operated. Our home is 90% wood flooring with one decent sized low-nap area rug - seems like we should be a perfect fit for this type of vacuum, but I find that there are more things it WON'T suck up than stuff it will and this is very noticeable with bare feet on a wood floor. My list of things this vacuum won't suck up -. 1. Little tiny bits of rock and sand end up around our doorway...this vacuum appears to suck them up, only to spit them back out elsewhere in my home as I continue to vacuum. Why are these tiny lightweight bits of paper so difficult to vacuum? There is nothing that broke from what we can tell - just sort of a plug that pushes into a groove (with no locking mechanism), so very easy to put back together, but now comes apart every time we pull the vacuum back towards us when vacuuming our area rug. on the rug to vacuum it which seems like a heck of a lot of fuss considering it still doesn't suck up the stuff."

I've watched it disappear under low end tables and thought, "uh, oh, I'm going to have to rescue it from that tight space", and then it whirs, reverses, backs, jogs, tilts, and exits the maze and keeps on cleaning. Note to those who have trouble connecting it to their home wifi network: I had the same problem, but found I needed to stand very close (4-5 feet) to the unit when I started the network sync up, then everything went smoothly."
"Also the fact that Roombas are well known to not do a great job on carpet unless you buy the really expensive one and even then some people complain. Upon arrival I unboxed it and noted the high quality engineering, extra side brushes and spare filter. I let it run for about 30 minutes, then checked the pickup bin and was horrified at the amount of stuff this thing got off my man-cave carpet. Not a huge deal of course, but added a small 1-2lb piece of metal in the bottom would really improve the feel and stability of the station. Reluctantly I decided to check the catch bin and again was horrified at the amount of debris it picked up.. Where did it find all of those toenail clippings??? My wife was 100% impressed with how incredibly well it cleaned our first floor - a mix of rugs and hardwood. (Android) I had great difficulty getting the Deebot to connect to the app then realized why - I had AP Isolation on between SSID's.. Alternatively, you can put the Deebot into WLAN mode and connect directly to it from your phone/app using it's built in hotspot. So much so, I purchased a second one a couple days later since my wife refused to give up the little guy for the main floor. We have a dog and a cat, and kids.. We literally have to vacuum everyday to keep the house feeling and looking clean. I can imagine saving hundreds of hours of work over a year or two AND having a much cleaner home."
"We have a mixture of laminate floors, tile and carpet in our house, and we have 4 cats and 2 dogs that continuously shed so keeping the floors clean is a challenge. I use the DEEBOT about 3 times a week to clean the entire house and it keeps my floors super clean. I use the Spot Option every day to pick up the cardboard from the cat scratcher that my cat shreds, it's super easy to direct it to the spot I want cleaned and let it do it's thing. The DEEBOT is very easy to empty and the trash bin holds a lot for such a tiny vacumn and the filters are easy to clean, they even provide you with a special tool to clean the filters and roller."

I bought this because my dog groomer recommended using the blower feature to blow out shedding dog coats more easily than brushing and more cheaply than taking multiple dogs to the groomer every two months."
"Had purchased different brand which had short Rigid hose and one narrow floor attachment. ceiling and HE PA bag great for floor sanding dust, joint compound and cleaning pellet stove ash."
"Attaching the wheels, handles, and dust filter inside the unit was easy. Although, it has a user's manual that probably covers various models of Shop Vac units, so some of the details and steps in the manual do not apply. For sucking up saw dust in the garage, the dust filter inside the vac does an excellent job containing all the dust. I was able to find a fitting (a 2 1/4 to 2 1/2) where the 2 1/4 fitting directly plugs into the shop vac and I have a hose connected to the 2 1/2 end which leads to the wood tools."
"I create lots of dust and wood chips."
"The only thing that I miss in this Shop Vac is the plug in cord is very short, but I would still buy this Shop Vac because of its size and suction."
"This product is excellent for what I purchased it for; sucking up sawdust generated from power tools during use."
"We only had that happen once and it was because the lid wasn't on properly."
"The accessories clip where you attach the different vacuum attachments is right below the air output vent."

It's very easy to maneuver while wearing the vacuum and areas that we had to go over two and three times with a standard vacuum are now clean after one pass. Rooms that took an hour to vacuum, are now being done in 30-45 minutes. When you compare it too the Wide Area Windsor vacuum that I just replaced with this ProTeam unit, I can honestly say I'll never buy another Wide Area vac again. After using this vacuum for almost 2 months, I'm ready to buy another one for a new cleaning contract we just signed."

"works great a bit hard to adjust the pipes."
"The only reason why I put four stars is because the floor brush it comes with hardly has an form of a brush and that may scratch the hard surfaces!"

I was hesitant at the price tag considering it was relatively half priec of my previous vacuum. He referred me to a website that does third party testing on vacuum cleaners. I noticed it brought the pile on the carpet back to life and wasn't too loud."
"I will be honest, this wasn't my first choice when I went vacuum shopping, but it won me over. Our cleaning lady has raved about hers for so long, I thought I'd give it a try. I like the lift away feature the Rotator Professional has to make vacuuming the stairs that much easier! When my Shark first arrived, I was impressed with the size and weight of the box. We have one room that is high traffic and the carpet gets blah fast. Wow...I could not believe the cup of dog hair and dirt it picked up! A simple push of the button and you can go from hardwood straight to carpet! The only thing that I miss with this vacuum is the wider width of the path. I am very happy and looking forward to a long lasting relationship with my vacuum!"
"As I write this review, you are able to download a pdf copy of the warranty from within the amazon product description. It almost appears as if they have accumulated enough positive reviews to disregard the promises of their warranty and/or the effects of a negative review like this one...perhaps if enough people click that this review is helpful, it will rise to a prominent position so that more buyers can make an informed decision. Following is a transcript of my conversation with their customer service for your own assessment: Chat started: 2017-08-15 04:51 PM UTC. (04:51:19 PM) Visitor 37898665 is now known as Joe P.

(04:57:13 PM) Pauline: I do apologize, the floor nozzle is not covered under warranty. You would need to purchase the floor nozzle on our website."
"The worst part is that they stick their customers with paying the shipping costs to replace products that are under warranty."

BD main body is the canister; door is clear to see contents; access simply by pulling the handle to the door and pouring out the contents. Dyson: clear cylinder shaped canister; easy to see how full it is; but to empty you have to slide the release which is in an ackward position that is hard to reach and get hold of. Ergonomics. BD the handle is centered over the top of the vac; weight is well balanced; vac is round. Dyson: Handle is at the backend of the vac like holding a pistol; weight is all sticking straight out; overall look is square. Both have their advantages: BD feels more comfortable long use, Dyson can reach into places better. The lower power works fairly well but true comparison with the DB is the max level. But with the Dyson on max power the running time is cut to a third according to their own feature list. Noise. Neither is horribly loud; according to the free (but hardly accurate) decibel meter on my iPhone both register about 95; literally they are about equal except the Dyson is a higher pitch. The Dyson's straight on design makes it easier to get into places and you don't have to bend over quite as much."
"It has a noticeably lighter vacuum portion, slightly larger handle, a higher pitch sound, a slighter larger (blue) "Max" button, and a charge indicator near the trigger. Three important notes on this machine: 1) It is ONLY the handheld "dust-buster" version that come with a brush (shown) and a pointed vacuum attachment for small items and corners. This device is expensive but worth the money, and you can build you collection of attachments to fit most small home/office needs."
"After I had it for about 2 months, it stopped working. This time they told me it wasn't under warranty any longer (even though I sent it to them when it was under warranty and they didn't fix it). The dyson rep. said that was probably the original problem, but since filters weren't covered under warranty, they didn't fix it, or bother to send a new one. So, for almost $200.00 I got a cordless vac that worked for about 2 months!"
"When we got the Dyson V6 it never worked more than 2 days."
"It was pretty to look at and sounded like a an airplane engine (pro and con)."
